Theoffensive against Petrograd multiplies tenfold the
peril, and the extreme necessity of suppressing the revolt
immediately, at all costs. Telegraph how things are going—
has the division which was landed got to work at last, are
the Voronezh and Tambov Communists who were sent you
arriving, do you need more reinforcements, and of what
sort?—in as much detail and as frequently as possible.
Delays are extraordinarily dangerous.
